I think black and white can have almost any other color out with them

To go with red/black/white I would put three shades of grey and  red/two shades of grey.

@sunala   I am not surprised to hear that these bright happy colors are favorites of yours!  Mine too!  When I was a teen my room had a section of wallpaper with big butterflies in deep pink and orange, outlined in black on a chocolate bown backgound.

Now you know how old I am!  Think of those wild flowing posters of the day and you get the picture!  LOL!!!  Everything else in the room was white!  Curtain panels were sheers in white, orange, white, hot pink, etc.

@Sooner  - and here I thought I was weird for loving this color combination. When I was 16 I was able to choose any color I wanted my room painted, and I chose an orange-pink mixture with a little coral thrown in. My parents kept asking if I was sure, and I said yes. I loved that color so much, although I know they weren't crazy about it!!!

Do you remember when we were kids they sold these pleated tissue paper "things" that had ice cream pop sticks attached at each end. When you opened them up, they looked like tie-dyed fans? I always loved the color combinations, which were light pink, dark pink, orange, coral...maybe there was purple and blue and green in there as well, but I'm not sure. I always felt happy when I looked at those colors!

And yes, I've figured out we're probably around the same age!

Wow, I love that example and those colors.  I'd never have put those together.  Maybe I should think along those line.

I am starting a blanket today with some new yarn I have that is calling me.  I call it South West.  Those colors are so South West to me.

@sunala   Well yes, we are weird!    But in a nice way!    And I'm sure about the same vintage! 

And yes I do remember those things you are talking about! I had forgotten about them.  Do you think we might be the only two who had their rooms in those colors?  LOL!!!!
